<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 8490388, member: 16729&quot;]I can&#039;t let this thread go stale without mentioning one of my favorite &quot;channels,&quot; although it&#039;s full history of videos are not viewable on YouTube, although it IS there now.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is <font size="5"><b>Coin Television</b></font> by David Lisot.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1502765[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>If you visit the <b>Newman Numismatic Portal</b> (NNP) and navigate here: <a href="https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/multimediadetail/522852" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/multimediadetail/522852" rel="nofollow">https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/multimediadetail/522852</a> , you will be rewarded with years of video, nearly 2,000 numismatic videos in total!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>To see other videos not listed in the above location also by Mr. Lisot, visit the <b>Internet Archive </b>and search &quot;David Lisot Video Library.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, go to the NNP and choose <b>the year 1986</b>, and you can see great interviews with Clifford Mishler, Chester Krause, R.W. Julian, and Anthony Swiatek, among many other giants in U.S. numismatics.&nbsp; There are multiple interviews with many of these same people in the different years listed at the NNP.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, many of the people in these interviews have since passed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I notice that people nowadays don&#039;t talk the way they used to when watching these interviews.&nbsp; People today, me included(!), sound less well-spoken and don&#039;t have as a large of a working vocabulary that these people did... I learn a &quot;turn of phrase&quot; or some new numismatic terminology every time I watch these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last week (Saturday, 8/20), I met David Lisot at the ANA Show in Chicago at his space there (right across from Matt Dinger&#039;s table!) and I told him how I enjoy watching his interviews with these old-timers and how his work has benefitted me through the knowledge and stories that David elicited from these people.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mr. Lisot was obviously touched and told me that it was his great pleasure to have captured these interviews.&nbsp; I also detected from him a bit of sadness in that many of his good old friends in this field are now gone.&nbsp; It made me think about how it&#039;s going to be when most of my old friends are gone, too...</p><p><br /></p><p>He then asked me about the book I was hawking (my Korean coin book), and then swung his camera around and turned on the square light above it and said, &quot;How about an interview?&quot;&nbsp; I had to think about it for a minute, but I said, &quot;sure.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Mr. Lisot was an expert at this short form interview/ad, and he got me talking about the book on camera.&nbsp; Mr. Lisot himself is very well-spoken (&quot;loquacious,&quot; as he said I was), and showed strong evidence that he has an intellect on par with pretty much any of those big brains in numismatics he&#039;s interviewed!</p><p><br /></p><p>Please take some time to check out the David Lisot Video Library...&nbsp; It&#039;s well worth your time.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;ll also be[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
